Your 12V outlet in your car may be shutting off when you car is turned off. If thats the case you will need to find a way to power your camera all the time. Make sure you have Parking mode enabled in your setup vie the Lukas Ace program. Hope this helps.

If you want it in parking mode, that's normal. If you don't want it in parking mode, you can turn off the auto switch so it's always in driving mode (not recommended because it records driving mode over everything) or you can press and hold down the left button on the side until it says either driving mode or parking more.As for only recording in town and when you're parking, it should begin recording when the car starts, and go to parking mode a few minuets after parking. The GPS doesn't tell it when to record. If you are having this issue, in the software, do the initialize or whatever it is button to restore it to default and try that.

I'm sorry, I don't know. Mine has always recorded wherever I went. You can download a manual in English on line.

Make sure you are also getting the memory disk with the maps. The one I bought did not. I used the one from my 800. That could be part of the cost differential.

If your installer sets you up by bypassing the parking sensor, you don't have to stop. If the installer will not by pass the parking sensor, you will have to stop to change the map and change music folders. Best Buy installed mine and the installer bypassed the parking sensor so my unit allows me to change as I'm driving.

Do you loose any functionality with this always bypassing the parking brake? I had an older headunit that when you bypassed the system it wouldn't use the GPS for navigation.

Hmmm yours may be broken? Mine doesn't clear total miles only if I keep it pressed for more then 5 seconds or so. Sorry : /

Date/Time are controlled by GPS location -- My date/time is about 14 hours off. The software need an update to properly recognize GPS time zone location. For Parking mode you need a special hard wired cable which is practically impossible to find. The user manual tells you what you need. But I have yet to find it sold anywhere online or offline, I am thinking about making my own. Great Camera for the Price, good video, and ok but useful rear-view. Wish it would accept a bigger SD card, and able to change % usage of storage better.

Speed yes, location is GPS mapped, yes. All what you want to see displayed can be adjusted in settings. The camera is up in the top window's part. The display is small. I see no screen while driving, coz it's small and deemed after few minutes. I did several tests: was running in between home and the car to see how it records and how it displays info. I don't remember what settings did I leave, but I was very satisfied. The only parameter I used to have in my other cam was the recording during parking. This cam doesn't record when the car is parked. It records few minutes after parking, but not during the whole paring duration. Speed yes, location is GPS mapped, yes.

TheProgrammerGuy nailed it. The power to the outlet on my car is always on so I have no need for the Power Magic Pro. I would caution you that, if you do use parking mode, change the settings. The default settings are way too sensitive and just about anything triggers a recording. The BV actually ran my battery down due to a combination of short commutes and the majority of the time in parking mode. After that experience I've set the parking mode sensitivity to minimum and, as an additional precaution, unplug it when at work or in the garage. No problem since.

My car moved and played music. Unless it's the batteries, it must be broken. Exchange it if you can.

Spy Tec has mentioned back on the April 9th that they should have it for sale separately in about a week or so. http://forum.dashcamtalk.com/threads/marcus-1-or-3-anyone-got-them-in-stock-yet-shipping-to-usa.4886/#post-59201 Post # 15 here Also be aware that the GPS looks like it will not function until you install the newer firmware do to be released soon.

It does not work well for me when counting laps. Hoping it is a software thing, tomtom has claimed they have an update in the work/soon though, so keeping fingers crossed.

I tried that but never worked for me when car is off and parked. Even it is not working for me when I stop at intersection as car was not moving.

Try playing the video while the car is parked, with the parking brake on; if it works, then your problem is that the built-in safety features of the unit are preventing you from viewing while the car is in motion.If the video still does not play, your video is probably encoded using a less-common or unsupported codec. Try a different video file to see if it works. I'm not exactly sure what is and isn't supported, but I'm pretty sure that Flash video (.FLV) is not supported; try playing an AVI clip instead.If you can't browse your list of files on the memory card, your SD card may not be formatted correctly. Try formatting it to FAT32 in then see if it reads.
